It just stands there, shining'.<br />Thank you for shining.Rainer Weberhttp://instantblogsubscribers.com/?w=rainwebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-28753348436851839462012-02-08T19:12:35.360-08:002012-02-08T19:12:35.360-08:00Quote "...the healing from suffering does not...Quote "...the healing from suffering does not come from anything you will say or do or wish or believe. It does not come from any theory of any book from any 'evidence-based practice' or any research.<br /><br />It comes from the open heart of civic love. It comes from who you are with the other...."<br /><br />I experience this daily, even with the littlest ones. Being there not just for the good, but the bad and the ugly, being non-judgmental, being present in the moment, not doing, just being, is what allows for healing.Lesliehttps://www.facebook.com/lperezwhiteheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-84687389519955386452012-02-02T16:18:41.185-08:002012-02-02T16:18:41.185-08:00Thank you for this post...Thank you for this post...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688316632068900316noreply@blogger.com
